Full repaint.
Chassis and floors have been sprayed black.
Trunk has been re-spatter painted.
Engine has been re-painted, obviously while out of the car.
Painted hood hinges and all hoses replaced with incorrect clamps
Why was all this necessary??


The listed U16 tach is actually a '66 "knee knocker" tach as opposed to the proper '67 "blinker tach" and likely added later.
The AM-FM radio is not a compatible option with the rear mounted antenna, it's one or the other. Also, the antenna should be standing straight up, not leaning rearward.
The "original steel wheels" are not proper 6 A3 code wheels for this car. Too much offset and wrong codes.

A very nice car, but not "Time Capsule"
I was waiting for Mr. Wente to chime in.

If …. that mileage is correct I would have loved to have seen it before all the bumper to bumper repainting was done.

Yes, nice refreshing colors, but certainly Not a Survivor / Time Capsule car.
